Chinanews, Beijing, March 10 (Reporter Hu Yixin) In the 2021 government work report, the industrial chain supply chain has been mentioned many times. How to optimize and stabilize the industrial chain supply chain and enhance the ability of independent control?

  In 2020, Wang Jian, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, brought the “Zhejiang Plan” to stabilize the supply chain of the industrial chain—the “chain length system” to the National People’s Congress and the National Congress of the People’s Republic of China. Institutional guarantee for sex and competitiveness.

  "From'Zhejiang First' to now it has been spontaneously replicated and promoted by more than 20 provinces (cities, autonomous regions), and its scientificity, innovation and operability have been demonstrated in practice." Wang Jian said, "chain length system" is in practice. There are some problems that require higher-level promotion. Therefore, it is called for a high-level and greater promotion of the "chain length system" to help China form a safe, stable, and efficient modern industrial chain system.

"Chain thinking" boosts the modernization of the industrial chain

  From the emergency of avoiding the “lack of a part and stopping a production line”, it has now become a conscious action by the locals to promote the modernization of the industrial chain. The “chain length system” in Zhejiang Development Zone, which was piloted and promoted in September 2019, has become Zhejiang’s block industry. Be stronger and use "chain thinking" to advance the advanced industrial foundation and the effective methodology of industrial chain modernization.

  In 2020, Zhejiang's actual use of foreign capital was US$15.78 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.4%.

The scale of foreign investment ranks fifth in the country, and the growth rate is 11.9 percentage points higher than that of the country, contributing 35.6% of the national increase.

  Behind Zhejiang's effective stabilization of foreign capital and foreign trade, the positive effect of the "chain length system" in smoothing the international and domestic dual cycles is demonstrated.

  "Using the'chain length system' to promote multi-level, wide-ranging, all-round precision cooperation between Zhejiang's industrial chain and the world is to smooth the external cycle; using the'chain length system' to respond to the epidemic and resume work and production is a smooth internal cycle. "The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce said that the "chain length system" carries the external circulation on one side and the internal circulation on the other, which has become Zhejiang Province's ability to enhance the independent controllability of the industrial chain supply chain, implement the industrial infrastructure reengineering project, and give full play to the large enterprises. Lead the important measures to support the coordination of small, medium and micro enterprises.

  At present, the world's industrial division of labor system has formed a complex network, with thousands of companies gathered in any industrial chain.

Under the construction of a market-oriented industrial chain, administrative influence is needed to implement the extension and optimization of the industrial chain.

  The "chain length system" clearly puts forward the need for an industrial chain plan, and uses the "nine one" work system to ensure the coordination of the industrial chain and promote the development of regional block-shaped characteristic industries.

At the same time, the "chain length system" promotes the concentration of various elements in advantageous industries, greatly encourages and activates the enthusiasm of market players, promotes the effective connection of upstream and downstream standards in the industrial chain, and improves the independent innovation capabilities of market players.

  The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce said that for more than a year, the technical dilemma of "stuck neck" has been solved in the practice of stabilizing the chain, fixing the chain, strengthening the chain and extending the chain in Zhejiang Development Zone, and major projects of industrial chain upgrading have been successively solved. The landing has effectively promoted the construction of the modernization system of the industrial chain; the stronger openness of the industrial chain supply chain has enabled the opening of Zhejiang to be more integrated into the world.

  With the accelerated formation of a new round of element agglomeration in China, the industrial chain is showing cluster development, and a number of innovative leading companies with international competitiveness in artificial intelligence, 5G, rail transit equipment, communication equipment and other fields have emerged.

"The development of these industrial clusters and industrial chains provides support for economic development, and also provides a foundation for the'chain length system' to be promoted at a higher level and with greater intensity." Wang Jian said.

Grassroots innovation still expects top-level design support

  In the 2020 proposal, Wang Jian believes that the stability of the Zhejiang industrial chain needs to be improved, the competitiveness of the industrial chain is not strong enough, and the homogeneity is relatively serious. It is recommended that all regions use the "chain length system" to plan the industrial chain. Build a modern industrial system, improve the quality of an open economy, and create a good business environment.

  These are not only the problems and practical experience that Zhejiang will encounter as a "pathfinder", but will also become common problems encountered in the upgrading of the industrial chain in various regions.

  Under the new development pattern of domestic and international dual cycles, China's industrial chain is deeply integrated into the global system during opening up, and the level of modernization is gradually increasing. The "chain length system" is also facing some new problems and requires higher-level promotion.

  Wang Jian said that the current implementation level of the "chain length system" is not high enough. When serving national strategies such as the "One Belt and One Road" initiative and the development of pilot free trade zones, the supporting role needs to be further improved; in the face of various links in the industrial chain and innovation chain For long-term and in-depth cooperation, the top-level design needs to be further optimized; in addition, in the context of digitalization, the application of digital management in the implementation of the "chain length system" still needs to be further improved.

  "Hope to be able to promote the'chain length system' at a higher level and more vigorously, and implement the'chain length system' comprehensively and jointly in terms of planning and design, industrial layout, supply matching, policy supply, capital guarantee, and talent introduction. 'Policy.' Wang Jian suggested.

  Wang Jian called for the implementation of the "chain length" responsibility system on platforms such as China's respective trade pilot zones and development zones to optimize the development environment of the industrial chain and strengthen the overall coordination of resource elements.

  Practice and exploration are inseparable from the guidance of methodology. Wang Jian suggested strengthening top-level design, promoting the establishment of a "chain length system" normal mechanism, forming a "chain length system" theoretical system and policy system, comprehensively coordinating the planning and development of the industrial chain, tackling key problems, and smoothing the industry. The key link of the chain.

  "Based on the status quo of the industrial chain, draw the'base map' of the industrial chain; adhere to a higher level of overall consideration of the layout of the industry, and draw the'blueprint' of the industrial chain; follow the law of industrial chain development and draw the'architecture map' of the industrial chain." Wang Jian explained.

  In strengthening opening up and cooperation, and smoothing the international and domestic dual cycles, Wang Jian suggested that the "chain length system" should be used to promote integration into the national strategy, with a focus on global precision cooperation, to stimulate new vitality in the foreign economy, and to gather high-quality foreign investment.

  "The'chain length system' is not self-enclosing or self-sufficiency, but achieving a higher level of openness." Wang Jian said, suggesting that "chain thinking" should be used to inspire and grow leading companies in the industrial chain to achieve upstream and downstream synergy and stimulate domestic demand in China. Market potential, making full use of the two resources of the international and domestic markets, forming a gravitational field of global resource elements, and promoting the domestic and regional interaction of the industrial chain and the global docking.
